Who are the Black Ones that live with us ?
Why did they come, from where?
They walk our floor, and share our bed
And fly up in the air.
At once so close, yet far away
Still  always do they Stare!
Into my eyes, through glassy haze.
I barely saw them through the glaze.

Come to meet a Black One,  I call her Maggie Maggee
I don't know what her true name is, she's just  a mystery
She seldom takes her eyes off me, I always feel her gaze
I never paid much attention,  through my glassy haze
Each year her belly fills with milk, no children do we see.
She cares for them and feeds them, to us, invisibly.

Here's another Black One, her name is Jezabell,
She acts as if she'd fear not walk right through the gates of hell!
She walks high in the rafters in search of something fleet
She knows if she should ever fall she'd land upon her feet.

You know the Crow I've spoken of so many times before
Well there's the tree he sits in just outside our front door,
I hear him through my window, I look but do not see
He speaks in tongues I do not know then flees invisibly

But since you are a Black One too, I think you'l understand
The meaning of this riddle, I think you'l know firsthand
I know you cannot tell me the answer that I seek
Until first you teach me the language that you speak

Thank you Sunshine, firm but fair
for reminding me we all must share
And that we all have much to say
I'll be content with three per day!
